Our goal is to bring a better awareness to the past due amount and better inform our members of how to remedy the delinquency. The notice will include the account number, balance past due, date to have the delinquency paid and information of how and where to pay.  \nWhile our method of notification will change, our willingness to work with our members has not changed. If you receive this past due notice, communication is vital! Call the office at 515-532-2805 and our customer service department will work with you to resolve the issue.  \noperative Director Certificate (CCD) from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) .  \nThe CCD is the first fundamental level of certificate programs offered to directors to aid in the knowledge and skills to help their performance as a director.

So when we hear about smarter technology, changes in the way renewable energy is captured and advances in energy efficiency, it’s important to make sure we think carefully about how we can make these advances work best in our communities.  \nFortunately, we are an electric cooperative. That means we’re a community-focused organization working to efficiently deliver affordable, reliable and safe energy to our members. It also means that we are led by consumers like you, who understand and listen to the community.  \nAs a result, when it comes to using cleaner sources of energy or renewables like wind and cooperative solar, we’re smart in our decisions. We know that there is no one-size-fits-all approach in this business: We have to do things in ways that make sense for the needs ofour cooperative and the greater community.  \nAn advantage of being an electric cooperative is that we belong to the communities we serve. So that when our members make improvements to the energy efficiency of their homes or businesses, those changes can go a long way toward keeping energy more reliable and affordable. We want you to save energy (and money) . In fact, we offer free energy assessments and lots of energy saving tips and programs to help manage your energy in smarter ways.  \nWhat’s good for our members is good for the whole cooperative. We were built by the communities we serve. That difference is perhaps our greatest strength. It’s also why, for our members, a little efficiency can go a long way.  \n• Corn Belt Power Cooperative partners with Northwest Iowa Community College in Sheldon, Iowa, to offer four $500 scholarships.
